Listen! Nerve cells flexibility adapt to acoustic signals

Depending on the input signal, neurons generate action potentials either near or far away from the cell body, as researcher from Munich predict (April 2014).

How nerve cells flexibly adapt to acoustic signals: Depending on the input signal, neurons generate action potentials either near or far away from the cell body. This flexibility improves our ability to localize sound sources.

Horch her!

LMU-Forscher zeigen, wie sich Nervenzellen akustischen Signalen flexibel anpassen: Je nach Eingangssignal generieren Neurone Aktionspotenziale nah oder entfernt vom Zellkörper. Diese Flexibilität verbessert unsere Fähigkeit, Schallquellen zu lokalisieren.
